Just a couple of useful hints: 1) keep the pressure rod seated until you have removed the cylinder from the gun. This will help in two ways - the pressure rod will not be flapping like a wing risking it snapping back into place while unscrewing the canister and it will also allow an empty tube to remain seated until you are ready to remove the tube. 2) Don’t remove the pop top until after you have inserted the tube into the canister. This will keep the cardboard tube from being damaged while removing the pop top. And it’s less messy. Thanks for the demonstration.
Geez, I did it totally backwards and fought with it for 30 minutes before giving up! Thanks for this video!! You helped where the directions just didn't!!! :)
How's it do with priming itself, when using that red'n'tacky grease? That's the most frustrating thing, for me in my current manual pump gun; when I put in a new tube of tacky grease and it just won't prime. Sometimes even when i open the air valve, the spring isn't strong enough to push the air out, and I have to twist and lock the rod to the plunger and simultaneously press the rod in to apply extra pressure. The red-tacky is just so thick it doesn't wanna move. Thought about heating the tube beforehand, but who's got time for that. I saw Dewalt says that this gun has a filter screen, wonder if that screen makes it even tougher for the spring to press grease into the pump.
